Rainbow Cake

This rainbow cake is a labor of love and sweetness. Getting all the colors right and laying down all that frosting takes some serious time and effort. If you want to learn how to make one for yourself or someone special, follow the link below for the details.

egads that is made with 6 full height layers?   If it were made more like a Torte it wouldn't be so high, but then, that might take some of the fun(?) out of it?  :-)     I wonder if icing can be made clear.....hmmm

I say it looks gorgeous and definately like something i would consume and eat up every last bit of it without even giving my mom

Looks noxious, I think jelly / Jell-O would work better, you could backlight it too? L

  I've seen a recipe like this using Jell-O in a magazine a while ago...

A little dessert platter with an LED through the bottom. Not sure about the white section though, maybe if you made thin layers of white and used a bright enough LED then it would shine the whole way through? That would be great for parties.
lemonie in reply to KryptoniteAug 25, 2009. 11:15 PM
Rainbows don't have white in them, but yes that sort of thing. L
Kryptonite in reply to lemonieAug 26, 2009. 3:42 PM
This cake has white.
lemonie in reply to KryptoniteAug 26, 2009. 4:01 PM
Yes, but rainbows don't. L
cupcake811 in reply to lemonieNov 25, 2009. 4:32 PM
You can think of the white as the clouds.
Kryptonite in reply to lemonieAug 27, 2009. 3:40 PM
I was talking about this cake though.
red-king in reply to lemonieAug 26, 2009. 10:53 PM
well... maybe they should.
Goodhart in reply to red-kingFeb 17, 2010. 6:13 AM
Well, rainbows were "originally" white light, that is refracted into all the colors....having white is kind of self defeating :-)
 
red-king in reply to GoodhartFeb 19, 2010. 1:38 PM
 I suppose... haha.
Goodhart in reply to red-kingFeb 19, 2010. 2:56 PM
Pssst,  I was humorously over-analyzing that ;-)

Might just make one for friday, being the day of Harvey Milk's death.... Very important day!

But then again, it's slightly ironic, due to the twinkie defense!  I was driven insane by rainbow cake.

Does it taste like a rainbow? If it doesn't, I'm disappointed for six layers of cake on top of each other.
fungus amungus (author) in reply to Rock SoldierAug 26, 2009. 7:21 PM
Um... what does a rainbow taste like?
Rock Soldier in reply to fungus amungusAug 26, 2009. 7:27 PM
Cherry for red Orange for...well, orange lemon for yellow lime for green something blue for blue and grape for purple.
Flumpkins in reply to Rock SoldierAug 28, 2009. 7:25 PM
Or Roses for Red Pennies for Orange Mustard for Yellow Pickles for Green Mayonnaise for blue and squid ink for purple :)
Rock Soldier in reply to FlumpkinsAug 28, 2009. 8:16 PM
Hey! Your suggestion made me make a new poem!

Roses taste like red
mayonnaise like blue
Pickles are green
Just like my spleen

I never said it was good
cupcake811 in reply to Rock SoldierNov 25, 2009. 4:32 PM
Ha!
Rock Soldier in reply to cupcake811Nov 25, 2009. 5:02 PM
Roses are red
Pickles are green
Blueberries are blue
This taste like glue
Rock Soldier in reply to FlumpkinsAug 28, 2009. 7:58 PM
YUM!
Flumpkins in reply to Rock SoldierAug 29, 2009. 8:17 AM
lol and nice poem :)
red-king in reply to Rock SoldierAug 26, 2009. 10:52 PM
blue could be blueberries.
Rock Soldier in reply to red-kingAug 27, 2009. 6:58 AM
Yea but that seems a little weird for a cake in my opinion. Muffins however...
Clayton H. in reply to Rock SoldierAug 27, 2009. 12:27 PM
OHH! blue raspberries!
Rock Soldier in reply to Clayton H.Aug 27, 2009. 12:30 PM
Or...Blueberry muffin flavor!
cupcake811 says: Nov 25, 2009. 4:36 PM
Yum! Maybe you could pipe something on top. Or you could serve it unsliced as a plain white cake and then you would slice it... surprise!
D.L.H. says: Sep 1, 2009. 2:09 PM
Wow well you don't see that everyday.
CyborgRay says: Aug 31, 2009. 3:23 PM
OH color the frosting in between cake layers for a mega rainbow!!
Rock Soldier says: Aug 25, 2009. 1:05 PM
Is it just six cakes stacked on top of each other?
Goodhart in reply to Rock SoldierAug 29, 2009. 5:04 AM
Yeah, this is pretty much like a Dobos Torte` only less fancy.
codongolev in reply to GoodhartAug 30, 2009. 4:28 PM
but way more fun and spontaneous.
Goodhart in reply to codongolevAug 30, 2009. 8:18 PM
I don't know....working with thin layers of cake can be a bit tedious at times :-)
makebot says: Aug 25, 2009. 1:01 PM
Sometimes, for parties, I'll make a similar thing with jello.
red-king in reply to makebotAug 26, 2009. 10:54 PM
I think i've seen that before somewhere...
Kryptonite says: Aug 26, 2009. 3:43 PM
Some one had to say it; THE CAKE IS A LIE!!!

Kryptonite in reply to =SMART=Aug 25, 2009. 9:08 PM

kelseymh says: Aug 25, 2009. 1:17 PM
